The CGA Educational Foundations has declared the launch of the CGAEF Scholarship Endowment to commemorate their 25 years of providing financial help and educational opportunities to the sector. Through an initial commitment of $250,000 from our Pioneers Circle Members, the endowment will provide scholarships to grocery sector employees throughout perpetuity.
The CGA Academic Foundation established the Icons of the Field Scholarship as part of the newly created Academic Endowment in recognition of the CGAEF’s previous and future Hall of Merit Inductees.
